The AEA 2004 (Electronic Association) report halfway down the article is most interesting -as is the offhand remarl quoted quote by Peter Drucker . He places the IIT at Bangalore and mistakenly says that the strikes and lockout ridden AIIMS, Delhi si world's top medical school. However, it is interesting to note that this report asks for issuance of Green Cards to foreign masters and PhD grads from US univs -in tech fields --which has been passed by US Senate Immigration Bill this summer. It interestingly notes that US college students do not choose tech programs in large numbers because they find them too tough! Ofcourse, you can't go around party hopping and boozing to celebrate the youth on Friday nights and weekends then: I am only talking about average college grads --not the super brilliant ones. The report also gives figures of foreign grads in science and tech from US univs. Interestingly it mentions Indian penchent for ISO-9000 certifications --which even high schools and petrol pumps show off as labels of quality. Also, the report mistakenly mentions that 58% of the software firms certified by Carnegie Mellon Univ were Indian --- perhaps they meant -those Indians who have emigrated to US!!! Hysteria helps build by adrenaline levels and a mentality for fight or flight --so ability to come up with radical solutions to stave off competition --no wonder Americans have led the world for ages!! Thats real pschology warfare and competitive spirit which regularly makes USA the number ONE in competitiveness. Any comments? Umesh PS: Some might be anguised by my remarks downgrading the Indian challenge. The map in the report showing jobs shifting to India is itself misleading --since it is just the opposite of what is written in black and white alongside -talk of hysetria!!
